“Revenge.” Along with “lockdown” and “pandemic,” is a word on the tip of many a tongue. Revenge on time, on missed vacations, on the wearing of endless streams of old jogging pants, and working from home zoom contemplation. According to Mônot founder and designer, Lebanese Eli Mizrahi, revenge can come in all shapes and forms, preferably in a black hue, and cut into a little dress ready to slither and sashay anywhere as long as its outside of your house.
“Revenge is not mine to give, that is the Lord’s job,” contemplates Monôt Collection 3 campaign star, American actor Tiffany Haddish. “But my success will be the bitter taste in my enemy’s mouth.” Success, Haddish runs the gamut. The heroine of Emmy award-winning Saturday Night Live outstanding guest actress and Grammy-nominated comedian, walks with ease in a spaghetti-strapped of someone gliding on air, even if she has revealed that her young life was anything besides a walk in the park. “My mood is attitude or gratitude for everything good,” she says, adding, “my spirit is my actions, what I do is what my spirit is saying.” Though her words are profound its her presence alone, in Mônot, that can stop a room. When it comes to casting, Mizrahi has not missed a step since launching his brand during Paris Fashion Week during February 2020. Demi Moore and Shailene Woodley were front and center at his show, long before Moore walked Fendi, and who can forget his awe-inducing Saudi campaign featuring the likes of Kate Moss, Mariacarla Boscono, Amber Valletta, and Jourdan Dunn?

Of Haddish, a 2018 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine, Mizrahi heaps his praises. “Tiffany is a modern-day icon. She represents the Mônot woman and embodies inherent strength and confidence,” he starts. “On set, she was a pro and came ready to perform. She completed the cast and the way she carried herself in the garments brought my vision to life.” Mizrahi intends to “shake things up even more with this collection.” Stating that it is “a revival of the Mônot woman who is ready to come back stronger than ever.” Of his own spirit, one of the few individuals who still manages to jet-set the world–he took this call from the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico–he is driven by hope, passion, and creativity. “I am passionate about what I do and grateful for the ability to share my creative vision with the world. Everything I create is about transformation and I want to help women feel empowered by expressing their true nature, individuality, and style.” He doses credit on those he surrounds himself with, noting “I have always been inspired by anything or anyone that portrays strength and confidence.” See the gallery below to peruse all the looks from Mônot Collection 3.
